{Pan Seared Sesame Soy Tuna with Sauteed Veggies}

This week has not really gotten away from me, but I feel like I have been letting my to do list fall by the wayside.  I have been battling a cold for most of the week (never fun, but comes with the change in weather), and I am living for the future and anxiously awaiting the weekend, we have fun wedding plans (I will talk about those on Friday)! 

Needless to say with my to do list falling by the wayside, cooking, and blogging have also fallen off the band wagon!  I know, bad me, I am sorry!   But I am back with you today, and I am excited to share this delicious tuna recipe with you!  I feel like I haven’t shared a fish recipe with you in a while, and this tuna is both easy to prepare and delicious!  I made this a week ago for Derek and I, and I want to say that dinner was on the table in about 30 minutes!  Yup, it takes no time at all!  All you need is one pan so clean up is a breeze!  Sub in any veggie you like or have on hand, make this meal your own!
